That Americans consume comparatively little
cheese, is a fact; also that cheese is enc of the
most wholesome and cheapest kinds of food, in
deed often preferable TO meat.
Making small cheese, weighing four five or
ten pounds each, which could be readily sold at
from so to 100 per cent above the market price
for large sizes. would doubtless be of great bene
fit to this industry, and materially increase the
local demand. five-pound cheese properly

of a certain cheese factory in Madison county,
New York, offered the maker three-fourths of a
cent per pound above the market price if he
would reduce his cheese to a uniform size of
thirty pounds each. AZ this offer covered the
cost of making, being nice profit in itself, it
was accepted
One of the most prominent grocers in Geneva,
n. Y, Samuel Warth, says he cannot get small
cheese enough to fill the demand. In Holland
probably the most popular cheese made is the

do not care to buy forty fifty pound cheese
at time. on account of the difficulty in keeping
il fresh until used. Nor is it pleasant to buy
